Good god is the SMOK Scar Mini adorable. Maybe not Baby Yoda-levels of “awwww”, but it’s at least as adorable as a compact vape mod can look these days. With its curvy, soft-coated alloy exterior, ridiculously small dimensions and simplified display, this is about as simple as adjustable vaping can be. But is it enough for [...]
I feel like I’ve typed “SMOK” more in the last few weeks than I have in the last 18 months. And after seeing great kits like the SMOK SCAR-18 setup, I was thrilled to have ANOTHER good-looking kit come across my desk. I don’t know, call it nostalgia… but it kinda feels like the “old [...]
In recent years, the whole vaping experience got a makeover. Vapers are upgrading and buying new mods for their device. With all “upgrading the vaping experience” has brought in brand new terminologies in the game. Now, vaping devices come with variable settings, where vapers can easily adjust the coil’s resistance, battery voltage, and current. One can [...]
This is what I’ve been waiting for! Sorry for starting a review with an exclamation, but after months upon months of shutdowns and shipping delays, having an honest-to-goodness high-powered vape mod in my hand just feels right. Even better? It was worth the wait. The Freemax Maxus 200W mod kit may not have stood out a [...]
We usually wait until the end of the first quarter before we start to isolate and/or collect the best, most recent vape gear for our Best Gear list. We know that Vapers might be looking for the best "new" setup they can find as soon as New Years passes. Lucky for us, a lot of [...]
Choosing the very best sub-ohm tank, one released in 2019, is NOT an easy job. What some lack in liquid capacity they make up for in flavor fidelity, what some lack in vapor production they make up for with coil longevity. While there’s still no “perfect” tank on the market, 2019 sees us coming closer [...]
Introduction to the WISMEC Reuleaux Tinker 2 - At the risk of alienating our younger (read: mid-20s) readers, I’m SO glad WISMEC no longer wants to “be like Mike.” If you remember the original triple-18650 WISMEC Tinker device, you know the design concept was centered on the classic “Air Jordan” sneakers from the late ‘80s. But [...]
Digiflavor Helix & Cerberus Review - Whenever we see a new pen-style vape kit cross our desks, our first reaction is usually, “What does it do differently than the hundreds of similar devices out there?” When we see a new pen-style vape kit that doesn’t have any adjustments beyond a single-button/three power setting approach, we’re even [...]
Oh, it’s good to be back to normal. After a few weeks of “best of” trips down (recent) memory lane, it’s nice to get back to what we do best – reviewing the latest vape gear. And, aside from one (maybe two) notable flaws, the iJoy Shogun Jr. Vape Kit was a great way to [...]
Our final “best of” (for the summer, anyway) is a bit of a different approach. One of the things we realized is that we weren’t catering to the broader needs of ex-smokers and new vapers. Because we all know that a first-time vape purchase isn’t just a mod. There’s all sorts of other gear to [...]
Yes, yes… we know we JUST did a piece like this a few months ago. But what can we say? 2019 has been an amazing year for vape products. Not only have high-wattage hobbyist mod kits made significant strides in performance and battery life, but even the oft-maligned pod mod kits are starting to earn [...]
As a hardcore Vaper Hobbyist, I was about as excited as anyone could be when my first 2 SMOK TFV16 Sub-Ohm Tanks arrived from Element Vape two weeks ago. While both an evolution of the previous King TFV12 and something brand new from SMOKTech, the TFV16 is massive in every way. Size, flavor, vapor, and… [...]
The Uwell Valyrian II Starter Kit Review When I came to work a couple weeks back, I saw the rather large box containing the new Uwell Valyrian II Starter Kit, and the first thought that came to me was “Oh thank God not another pod mod system!”. The Valyrian vape mod is a triple 18650 ‘Reuleaux’ [...]
You have to hand it to Wake Mod Co. – nothing they make is like any other vape products. Their tanks and RDAs are stunningly designed, occasionally gaudy but always unique through and through. So, when the 200W Wake Mod Bigfoot kit arrived (not to be mistaken for the 60W Littlefoot kit) , I expected nothing [...]
We try not to make childish jokes too often around here, but if you came up to me in the office and asked, “Hey, have you tried the new Anulax?” I’d probably question your fiber intake and then call human resources. But it’s not a suppository, kids – the AAAvape Anulax is a solid sub-ohm [...]
